    @trevormannering5697 3 года назад

    Thanks for the reply Pete. I too live near the goldfields, just a little further south than you. I have been detecting almost 2 years as a retirement hobby and have found plenty of sub grammars. Just recently I walked over a 5 grammar at about 11 inches on a goldfields track of all places. It was my first big one. I guess patience is a virtue and getting old mate lead shot means you are getting closer to the real thing!

    • @PetesGoldAdventures
      @PetesGoldAdventures  3 года назад

      There's no doubt finding bigger nuggets is getting harder, so you do need to get on the flat deeper ground to try and pick up the deeper targets, but you do run the risk of having a quiet day, so mix it up on some shallow ground that will have more smaller gold, so at least you'll go home with a smile and a nugget, even if it's a little guy.

    Pete : your videos are so realistic with pieces of rust, old mate lead shot and just the occasional bit of gold. Thanks so much for showing it like it really is , I find it encouraging as my detecting with a GPX 5000 yields similar results !

    • @PetesGoldAdventures
      @PetesGoldAdventures  3 года назад

      That's it Trevor, I shoot all my footage in a day and that's it and sometimes it might only be for 3 or 4 hours, I'm lucky to live in the middle of the goldfields. I've been doing it for a long time and have a lot of areas where I've found gold, so that helps. Prospecting can be hard and there's a lot of dirt mixed in with that gold, so enjoy the walk and hopefully you'll walk over that nugget.

    Nice on Pete,Have you ever thought of upgrading the 4500 to a 7000 or 6000?

    • @PetesGoldAdventures
      @PetesGoldAdventures  3 года назад

      I have, but the old 4500 still finds plenty of gold. I know so many very good prospectors that have gone to the 7000 over the years and then gone back to the 4500 / 5000, I don't think they like how unstable they sound coming from the 4500 that has a solid threshold and they were a lot of money. The 6000 appears to be a good machine and does find a lot of small stuff, but it's also a lot of money just to find small gold down deep. I guess if your finding gold most times you head out, alls good.

      Olá, Nem sempre porque o monstro é uma máquina VLF que coleta ouro fino que a GPX não coleta, você cobrirá mais terreno com a GPX em áreas mais mineralizadas, o que é uma vantagem, então você terá uma melhor chance de encontrar maior e ouro de melhor tamanho.

    Pete if you’ve been prospecting for as long as you say you have why do you insist on using that tiny coil? If your serious about finding something bigger than .2’s then use a bigger coil and change your settings cause mate you spend a lot time out there for sweet FA I like your vids but mate show us something worth finding and don’t get me started on that gold monster please leave it at home 👍

    • @PetesGoldAdventures
      @PetesGoldAdventures  3 года назад +1

      Hi Colin, The ground i was working there is shallow and the Sadie coil is good for getting in and under, later that day I put on the 14in Evo, that coil will punch down feet if the targets there. Unfortunatly there's not a lot of big stuff around these days and if you relied on just finding big gold you would walk away sad most trips. The Monster is just fun to use getting the tiny gold, but since using it since June I've found over 10 grams with it. Gold prospecting for me is more about the peace and therapy you get walking through the bush, the golds a bonus. Thanks for watching.
      Cheers, Pete
